A huge congratulations to the 40 pupils who sat the Mensa test and received their results today. A staggering 8 pupils managed to get accepted into Mensa, with their results being in the top 2% of the population.
This means their IQ is above 148. Many also came close, with 18 students in the top 10% and 13 students in the top 5%.
Pupils at Bloxwich Academy will join millions of people across the World learning about Martin Luther King Day. Pupils will be having assemblies, taking part in Form Time Activities discussing the impact that Martin Luther King had on equality and diversity and anti-discrimination. Pupils will be relating “I have a Dream” to our own Bloxwich Values and how they can support themselves and others to make a valuable contribution. The Art Club are currently in the process of completing their masterpiece, inspired by Martin Luther King. Please keep checking back on our social media platforms to see the progress of this. #MLKDay #CivilRights #Equality #IHaveADream
We would like to remind you that you can now report your child’s absence through the Weduc app. A letter with detailed instructions on how to use the app for this purpose was sent to all parents on 4th December. If you haven’t had a chance to review it, please find the link attached below. When reporting absence can you ensure you provide the reason, e.g. Not attending school today due to having a high temperature and fever.
To ensure the safety and well-being of our students, it is important that absences are reported promptly. If we do not receive a report of absence via the Weduc app or through a phone call, a Weduc message will be sent in the morning requesting you to contact the school.
If you are unsure of whether your child is too ill for school please find the link attached for NHS guidance.

Rose from the Midland Metro Alliance ran a session on apprenticeships. In this session, pupils learnt about different career apprenticeships and how to apply for them. They also learnt about employability skills and did a fun activity on effective communication. The pupils absolutely loved the session and many are now more interested in a STEM related career.
